Hey Friend,

I mentioned Guitar Tricks Insider magazine yesterday, and today it’s Premier Guitar’s turn.

PG isn’t unique in that it gives a lot of great articles on artists and gear, and you can dig into some very good, thorough lessons if you’re so inclined. 

But something I really like is their Rig Rundowns. These is where someone from Premier Guitar meets up with a touring guitarist (or bass player)  and interviews them on their show setups. 

You get the down and dirty on the gear choices these artists make (along with their techs and sound professionals) to bring their sound live.

What’s nice is PG talks with musicians from all walks and styles. Whether you’re into Post Hardcore or Bluegrass, Jazz or Pop, you’ll likely find an artist from your favorite genre.

Interested in what Brian May uses live for Queen shows? Here’s the scoop. 

Prefer some Bluesy, Latin infused grooves? Here’s the rig rundown for Carlos Santana. 

How about Keith Urban?

Slayer? 

AC/DC?  

You might be surprised by how some of these artists get their live sound.

There’s a ton of rig rundowns there for you to peruse, and if you just have to try out the gear yourself, the fine folks at PG give you a listing of all the gear mentioned in the videos. The newer rig rundowns have them linked right to a store so you can save time and buy it on the spot.

Scroll through the listing of artists and take a few minutes to watch a video interview with one of your guitar heroes. Ya might learn something!

Peace~

Dave
